I can't resist a good travel story or a good dog story.One of my favorite books is Travels with Charley, John Steinbeck's account of a cross-country trip he made in 1960, accompanied by his French standard poodle.
This one is about Fred and Hank, two very photogenic beagles traveling across America with their best friends/owners, Jim and Joan Brady. Jim used to work for The Washington Post and handles the writing. Joan takes most of the pictures.
The foursome are in New Orleans, where they celebrated St. Patrick's Day, and Fred and Hank went a little wild with the funny hats. I definitely need to bookmark this. Thanks to Andrew Sullivan for the tip.
I'm looking forward to the movie, because you know there'll be one - and then, the musical!

Oh, I LOVE that book. Steinbeck is my FAVE!
Yeah, I'm a Steinbeck fan, too. He wrote a lot of great novels but I love Travels with Charley.
